This Is *the* Pretty Dress Trend to Wear With Tights and Heels If You Want to Get Compliments This Fall

When it comes to fall fashion, we tend to focus on jeans and trousers, but dresses are just as crucial. They're super easy to slip into, and paired with tights, they look super polished. There are many styles to choose from, but for the new season, one dress trend stands out as the top choice—satin minidresses.

This week in NYC, actress Grace Van Patten gave us a taste of the satin-minidress trend. She opted for a gold Miu Miu off-the-shoulder dress from the brand's S/S 98 collection and styled it with sheer tights, Mary Jane pumps, and a leather shoulder bag. While her outfit was one we might wear in the fall, it was very fitting given that the temperature on the East Coast has dropped to the '60s in the last few days.

Aside from Van Patten's recent look, the satin-minidress trend has been gaining popularity in new collections. We've seen it from designers such as Toteme and Kallmeyer as well as more affordable options from Reformation and Zara—ranging from asymmetrical lace-trim styles to high-neck A-line silhouettes. No matter the cut, the luxurious fabric makes each look elegant and polished. If you're searching for a chic dress trend to pair with sheer tights and heels this fall and beyond, keep scrolling for the best satin minidresses.
